This template adds pages to Category:Banned Wikipedia users. It should not be used for normal blocks; rather, it is for legitimate accounts that have been banned after due consideration. The template adds the {{NOINDEX}} keyword.

Syntax

time – specifies the time for which the user was banned.

A value of 'indef', 'indefinite', or 'indefinitely' will display as "banned indefinitely"
